Red lentil benefits

A powerhouse of protein, red lentils red lentils are seeds from legume plants that are cooked in an instant, providing an important protein source. Calorie rich, nutritious, and packed with fiber, red lentils are a nutritional powerhouse that help improve your health and meet your weight loss goals.
On top of it, red lentils are known to slow down the absorption of carbs in the body, which means these are a healthy alternative to glutenated flours that cause digestive problems. This ensures slow release of blood glucose, thus preventing blood sugar spikes that could be very dangerous for those with diabetes.

Red lentils have a low glycemic index, which means they have a low blood sugar release.This helps improve energy utilization and efficiency in the body.

Additionally, they are a good source of dietary fiber, which creates a feeling of fullness, so you are less likely to indulge in foodie goodness. Less food intake means low calorie.
They are a rich source of amino acids and micronutrients, which make them a perfect food for muscle repair and growth.

Lentils are packed with magnesium, which helps lower blood pressure while relaxing cardio muscles. Since lentils are a good source of B vitamins, they supply your body with a good dose of folic acid, which helps in the formation of red blood cells.

When you eat less but get all the nutrients from food, you can easily meet your weight management goals.
